Newly added feature in Nagios-3 --

"Escaped command arguments - You can now pass bang (!) characters in
your command arguments by escaping them with a backslash (\). If you
need to include backslashes in your command arguments, they should also
be escaped with a backslash."

In nagios-2 I believe you'll need to create a dedicated command{}
definition with that hard-coded in the command_line.
